When Mr and Mrs Dursley woke up on the dull, grey Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing...
I have no idea why present simple is used here. And it seems to me that "our story starts" is an independent clause, why there's a comma but not a full stop after it?
Can I write the sentence like this?
